Meanwhile...

Uru is a metal ore from the first moon in existence, and has existed since the beginning of the universe, being said to be rubble from the rock of creation and the strongest substance in all the realms.

but was easily defeated by various beings. HELA, scarlet witch,,,etc.

and the strongest substance in all the realms.

Until it isn't.

Damn even the metallurgists have to watch out for power creep

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 days ago

Ah, thank you. I was looking for the expression "power creep" to describe this phenomenon. In Japan, we usually call it "power inflation," and I couldn't remember how to say it in English!

I mean, they've been having to do that since the chalcolithic.

Damn Catholics get into everything, don’t they?

That is how our cars manage to convert gasoline into energy.

You fool! I have only been fighting at half hardness!

[–] fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

So it's strongest than the actual rock of creation? Also funny that it was there since the beginning but it's in a moon. A moon that existed before the planet the moon is a moon of? That's not a moon lol.

The moon was made up of rubble from the rock of creation. It doesn't say it existed before its planet.

I mean moons can be captured. So it's technically possible, just really unlikely.

So, it's composed of hydrogen and helium?

[–] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

To be fair, a lot of elements existed before the first stars exploded, it was just overwhelmingly hydrogen and helium.

[–] justme@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 15 hours ago

I was talking about the beginning, so the big bang, which only produced hydrogen and helium. At least that is the common consensus. The first stars were creating more elements, as they can create everything up to iron. For everything else we need super Nova explosions, which obviously came much later, but that also explains only a part of the universes chemical evolution. The rest could be explained by binary neutron star mergers or exotic types of super novae, but that is still highly debated.
